Small, down-to-earth eatery featuring a menu of traditional Cuban sandwiches & other eats.
Just moved to LA from Miami and have been searching various “Cuban” restaurants in LA for authentic Cuban food. By far this is best one! Felt like I was back home in a Miami Cuban restaurant!
Small place, but quaint and clean. As a Puerto Rican, I know good Cuban food. The rice lacked, but the beans and Ropa Vieja hit nicely. The cafecito was the best part. Worth a try if you’re in the area and have a craving.
Their cubana sandwiches are bomb
The best cuban food I have tasted,specially the masas de puercoAnd the cortaditoAnd I lived in Miami Florida
Great place hve been enjoying their food for 30 plus years great food good price authentic Cuban food their dulce de Leche flan is the best.
Amazing food. Really good flavor! Recommended
Amazing traditional cuban good. Best taste ever.
Best Cuban food I had in a long time! Rabo con moros y yuca con mojo.
Excellent food! Very well prepared, the tastes are amazing, and very well priced 😃✅
Traditional cuban cuisine! The best in Glendale.
My family has been coming to this place since day 1. (At their original spotI am never disappointed with their food and service. You can never go wrong with what they offer. If you are a non speaking Spanish person they will help you out on the choice of plate. Highly recommend this gem for lunch and dinner.
First time here. Food is soo good! Empanadas and Torta Cubana is phenomenal. Definitely coming back.
Food was excellent and fresh. It took a little bit to get the food, but when it came, everything was made fresh.Empanadas reminded me if my mothers...yummy! Fried pork was delicious. So was the bitter empanizado. Red bean soup was great.You could tell the food was not sitting and then microwaved.This is a small store front Cuban restaurant in Glendale and deserves our patronage.Will continue to go there and/or order take out.
This place was recommended to us by our friend who said this was the best Cuban restaurant in Los Angeles, and he was telling the truth!The food was so good and the servers were so friendly. The three of us ordered the ropa vieja, the oxtails and the lechon, and all three dishes were spectacular. You get to pick 2 sides each and so we all ordered the same sides of sweet plantains and the moros (beans and rice cooked together). The moros I’ve had at other places are usually dry but this was very moist. I loved it! They also served us bread with butter beforehand and it was perfectly warm and toasted.A lot of the reviews said these portions were huge but I thought it was just right. I had a little lechon leftover so the server brought me some bread so I can make a tiny sandwich out of it when I get home.I’ll definitely be back here and will try some of the other dishes. We went about an hour before closing so they were already running out of some dishes.
Wonderful Cuban Sandwich so big two can share. The people who work there need to be more friendly, sort of a cold atmosphere. The place needs more smiles.
This place is the best! Everything is super fresh and delicious. My favorite meal is the pan con bistek and a large glass of Malbec! They also have the best tostones in town. Perfect for when your hungry after a long day on set~ Yummm!!!
The food is always good,. The lengua stew is rich and so homemade its like eating a moms home cooked meal. The plantanas and moro rice is really tasty, not bland like some other restaurants make it. I hate to knock off a star, but service a little slow tonight, probably because of covid. So I wont.
Good Cuban food reasonably priced. This restaurant has been around for many years.
2 servers gets busy with dine-in and take-outs.
I hadnt been there in a while. Still delicious. I had the fried chicken, and it was golden, crispy, and tasty. The papas rellenas, the yucca, morros - everything was great. So glad the food hasnt changed.
Best Cuban food in SoCal buy a long shot I have tried all of them. I know, if you want home style Cuban food this is where you go.
I have no words to express how delicious the food was. We had to wait a bit for our food, but that was understandable because they were packed. Super worth the wait though!
Amazing as usual. Got the black beans and rice. The plantains. The lechon. And the chicken fricase 💜 everything so delicious!!!!
Anabel is the best , the other ladies too.It makes me upset how people complain about waiting time . Well too bad u had that bad experience. I love this place and their people. By the wait food is always on time . Thank you
Excellently prepared, good menu authentic as any food Ive had before. Meat was tender everything seemed fresh
Excellent food always tastes delicious. Recommended to anyone who loves Cuban food. The grill steak is something to die for.
Ive been going for years. Always more than satisfied! Sandwiches are amazing. Moro, yucca, croquetas, and vegetarian dishes are great! Homestyle food & great service. A little bit of Cuba in Glendale . You will not be dissatisfied, guaranteed!! *-)
This is one amazing Cuban restaurant. The food there is so good. I had the Ropa Vieja, with Moros ( White Rice Cooked with Black Beansand Plátanos Maduros. Excellent, highly recommended if you like Cuban food. 💖💖💖💖💖 #cubanfood #cuban
Hidden gem there empanadas are amazing. Second time me and my boyfriend have ordered from here. We will def be regulars.
Great place my wife and I have been eating here for 27 years. The food is the best Cuban food there is, always fresh and tasty doesn’t matter what year it has been. Today we are driving from San Diego were we just moved to this year, and we had to stop and eat here.
This is the best of Cuban food ever, I recommend the ceviche and the lechon plate which it will melt in your mouth . They always have the best lunch specials the service is excellent we love our server Sofia is just an awesome very friendly and Norma very serious but so professional . We love coming here I used to like Versailles but this is by far one of the greatest similar to a good Cuban place in Miami or better
Great authentic cuban food! We ordered the beef tongue and the oxtail. Both were really good. The taste and the portions. I’d recommend complementing them with ‘moros’ and with ‘yuca’.
The oxtails are delicious as well as the potato balls the platanos maduros EVERYTHING is beyond delicious!! The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cool and cozy. As you are dining the music goes well with what youre enjoying.
It had been 2 years since the last time I had come in to eat here. Last visit I was disappointed with the customer service and the lack of food. We came early 1:15 pm for lunch. I asked for appetizer of papa rellena they didnt have any. I asked for boliche no. Ask for the Daily Special and was told there was no specials for Wednesday. Batido de Mamey or of any kind of other fruit they did not have any. We ordered Cuban sandwiches which were delicious. Wanted some Creme Brulee but they didnt have that either. What is going on? 2 years of have nots? I am really disappointed.
Very nice good Cuban authentic food to eat you must try yeah we are having a good lunch very clean place the shirt is also known as well and Cuban coffee fresh.
Wonderful food, great service and price!
This is a good Cuban restaurant. Not many Caribbean restaurants in LA. This is a genuine Cuban Latino restaurante. Service is good and the food is mostly traditional Cuban dishes. They are a little bit on the mild side than intense garlicky, spicy food as it should. The grilled chicken breast is delicious, rabo encendido is a must to try and the traditional lechón! Blackberry beans are mild but tasty. In terms of the desserts , the dulce de leche flan is delicious if you want to indulge! The coffee is not great, burned and lack of flavor.
La Cubana is a family favorite! Mari the owner, and her staff provide guests with delicious authentic cuban food thats always guaranteed to leave you full and very satisfied!
Home-made, genuine, plain Cuban food. You will savour the simplicity and have your fill without subsequent heartburns. Dont be fooled by their basic approach: cleanliness, meats well done, balanced condiments, no fusion ingredients added. I have seen important people come here to dine. Since there are more clients than seating space, arrive slightly before noon (opening timeso you dont have to wait for a table.

Need some authentic Cuban food, then step right in. This place is delicious and offers all the popular dishes. I could always come here for cuban food cravings that Portos doesnt have or when it that doesnt satisfy my cravings. My boo feels at home everytime he comes here. The place is clean and staff is helpful.
Been going to La Cubana since I was a kid. Best Bistec a la plancha and pan con bistec! I have never found any other restaurant that makes it like they do. Best flavor ball around!
We went in half an hour before closing but the ladies running the place were so courteous and welcoming! Food was awesome, and we had enough leftovers for lunch the next day! Will definitely go again and again.
Pretty good Cuban food. The pork dish is absolutely delicious. The yuca is average. The bread is truly Cuban bread unlike other Cuban restaurants. Media noche sandwich is very good. And the flan is a must! Had the plain flan but they also have caramel one.
Great food, but today I had to change the rating I had the worst experience before I even ate. They ignored me when I walked in for a very long time. Finally I said something. Instead of apologizing they said they thought I was with a large party that was scheduled to come in. Then instead of saying sorry for the mistake, let me seat you, they said well we are very busy. With attitude. My group and I had to leave. And they didn’t even try to stop me from leaving. I’ll try another day perhaps but for now, this is how I feel.
I had the Beef and it was VERY NICE. My friend had the OX TAIL in Spicey Tomato sauce... suggection, is it is a nicer tomato sauce with a little zing. Substitute would be AWESOME on all items. Plantains were not overly sweet. GREAT CUBAN RESTAURANT. Our SUGGESTION over the rest.
I love this restaurante its small but they swrve the best medianoche sandwich and yuca with mojo de ajo my mouth is watery all over again!!!
This restaurant has had several addresses in Glendale over the last 20 years. I had to look for the new tiny place, but please know, the food is worth it. I will be finishing Saturday nights lechon asada Monday morning for breakfast. Yeah $14 can feed you well and its delicious! This place has the BEST Cuban food of my experience. Service is kind. Prices beyond reasonable. Atmosphere is clean and contemporary. But its really the FOOD! Husband cant resist ordering his favorite boliche en salsa, but he trys to seduce my leftovers from me. Order anything, order everything. This place is a must visit when you want slow cooked meat and top shelf man food. Provecho!
Deliciousness all around. Starting from buttered bread to main dish. The servers are super nice and the price is absolutely affordable. Cant wait to go back and try the sandwiches.
Food disappointed, it wasnt spiced correctly was missing salt and cumin was missing pimento, so sad, I was really hoping for a better expirience after reading the reviews.The service was not good whom ever posts that the service is good must be related to the restaurant ownership. There was no front of house management present the whole operation looked like a rudderless ship, everything took a very long time to get done.
